The wait for a name is over. Bethesda has officially confirmed that its next open-world RPG is titled The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel, unveiling the subtitle and a title logo at the end of a video celebrating the studio's 40th anniversary.

The reveal closes one of gaming's longest naming droughts. Eurogamer counted it precisely: the confirmation arrives 8 years, 4 months, and 23 days after the game's original 2018 teaser. Todd Howard framed the anniversary as the perfect moment to reveal the RPG's title, per GamesRadar+.

The announcement also confirms a recent report that had pegged Sentinel as the subtitle. Sentinel is a city in Hammerfell, the Redguard homeland long rumored as the game's setting — though Bethesda's video focused on the name and logo rather than gameplay. Still, after nearly a decade of silence, Skyrim's successor finally has an identity.
